It's Pride. Your are seen. You are loved. You are valid. You matter. And if you need another brick, you give this nerd right here a call.

Again: Trump didn't go to Jr's wedding because the Bahamas does not admit adjudicated rapists. No sports. Not even a distant father. It's literally because he's a rapey son of a bitch, and the courts said so.

Looks like Clearfield...Except instead of a drug kingpin, it's a drugged king-wannabe pinhead who was pals with Epstein.

Not Gonna Lie: Watching my home town - and the "scene" that rejected me - fall into steep decline feels mighty fucking good. Validation. Vindication. And best of all: Survival for the one they rejected, but not for themselves. Good on you guys. Hope that whole HC nostalgia thing lasts...

Bootlicker Mule CEO in a "promotional" email: "Today is the day we start winning together." Motherfucker, are you not getting enough winning as it is?!? You're a fucking bootlicking, Orange Flavor-Ade drinking "true believer." Why are we JUST NOW starting to win?!?

Sometimes, the selfie seems to be the ultimate goal. The validation. The "proof." With one notable exception, that personality type doesn't ever last very long...

And this wedding took place in a country the President can not enter, as the Bahamas bans adjudicated rapists from setting foot on the islands.

Fun Supplemental Fact: I have smoked cannabis that Stephen Pearcy of Ratt said "No" to. While he was off the wagon.

This... Did not end how I wanted it to. Instead, I was confronted with an entirely different problem, and found myself occupied for around 60 hours. Thankfully, the people behind me are good people, and by the skin of my teeth, made it back in time. Not thrilled with the new anxiety, however...

It's a bold claim, I know. But I am 1000% sure that I could smoke both Snoop Dogg AND Willie Nelson under a table. With ease.

Good old boy strutting around like a drunk peacock. Why? He truly believes the American flag he's wearing as a cape makes him the man.

Woah. I'm in Monroe all the time... Wild!

$400 well spent. In the middle of an ONI session, multiple power outages... Not a single moment lost. Bonzer!

Just deactivated Facebook. The intent is to scare people - Where did LP go? Things aren't good here. In fact, they're very bad, and absolutely noone has been the slightest bit helpful. They've only made things worse. Expecting a visit from CPD in the next few hours, thanks to "concerned friends."

Including the certificate, there are a number of ways this could have been sorted out. But in the end? You get a funny story rooted in something awesome, and sometimes, that's better than being exactly right, even about an anniversary. Happy Anniversary, Mr. & Mrs. Finite ^,^

Wheaton's Law works anytime, anywhere, and it's really easy, too! You just... Don't be a dick.

Conservative voters never cease to amaze me: They'll post memes all day long about their concern for homeless veterans, and yet cheer when their chosen representatives vote against exactly that kind of aid for said veterans...

There's very little I can do if you're projecting when doing hype man, but not when you're singing or rapping...

I need a distraction, so I'm going in to work early to get the new router mounted, as well as the Cat6 runs for both the X32 and the Maestro to it. Bonus points if I can get the DJ/IT guy to come do the run from the office so it has Internet...

Fun Fact: I have achieved a state of cannabis consumption so ridiculous that I could probably - and easily - smoke both Willie Nelson and Snoop Dogg under a table. And I have done so without Toby Keith's resources...

My city didn't have an NBA team, so I treated it more like Hockey - Rather than have a team, you have your favorite players you follow. I gravitated to Charles Barkley because of his attitude. I stayed because he's just... Good people.

The collab the world doesn't know it desperately needs... Gritty x Mr. Blobby

Sir Charles used to have these commercials where he would say "I am not a role model." Yes. Yes, you are, Mr. Barkley...

RIP Clarence Carter, Clarence Carter, Clarence Carter, Clarence Carter... Oooooooooo SHIT! Clarence Carter! "Strokin'" was a mainstay tune during my rink rat days. What a legend...

Video: "This Frontman Is the Biggest TOOL in Music" Me, a small tool in music: A guy who looks like he drowned in the second wave of Ska is going to explain how he knows this, from exprience. K. You know who the biggest tools in music are? Pretentious YouTubers who give themselves academic titles.

I love clicking on a Facebook profile and being confronted with a treasure trove of evidence for a crippling gambling addiction. Jesus Christ, this country has a problem, and it's only getting worse exponentially...

The young O'Neal would find future success as T-Pain's replacement...

Post(card)s from Back Home: Videos of events back there keep rolling across my timeline. Yeah, the scene back there is more or less running on life support. Could they use my services? Big time. But not often enough to make it worth my while, unfortunately. And so, they flounder, and I smile...

Just saw a clip from WWE Buttrash... I mean Backlash. Holy shit, that was the worst-produced segment I've seen since the fucking 80s boom. Not Shockmaster levels of bad, but still enough to take you completely out of the moment. TKO is shit. They have no fucking clue what they're doing.

Fun Fact: Bill Krystol was in charge of The Weekly Standard, a neo-conservative propaganda rag that once portrayed George W. Bush on its cover with a crown, calling him "The Anointed One." Seriously: Fuck these people. They literally paved the way for Trump, and did so with smiles on their faces.

This is a problem I'm seeing with a lot of local bands: Certain members are excited about AI, and feeding the entire band's likenesses into it... Including the members who may not be terribly enthused with the idea. It's never good to train AI, especially without someone's knowledge...

They must have spent too much buying that opening slot on that one European tour 20 years ago, because now they can't seem to afford to fly their former drummer home for a one-off reunion show...

Actually, it was Netanyahu who was tired of talking and wanted to get down to his colonialist bullshit. Didn't take much for him to convince Orange Julius Caesar, though, did it...

Maybe all that hardware's for compensating for something...

Behold: my second (technically third, i have two football kits) bit of @xisumavoid.com merch! What an amazing banner!

How do you tell someone that they have the stage presence of a lima bean?

One of my recent dust-ups has had a positive - and timely - side effect: I'm not spending nearly as much on gas, because I'm not doing an extra few hundred miles in between gigs. With Trumpflation hitting at the exact same time, I'm probably saving quite a bit right now - at least $50 a week...

May 4th: A day when Star Wars fans and Doctor Who fans silently squabble over something that, at the end of the day, isn't terribly clever when you get right down to it...

I think this may be the earliest I've ever booked shows for the following year. Already two 'slow season' shows booked for 2027. Now, let's see if I actually survive 2026 first...

Competent sound editing on TV or Streaming is a rare thing. Which is why all the good sound people are working in Live Music.

The show itself doesn't look all that enticing, but I'm super glad that Skee-Lo is getting some royalty love for them using "I Wish" in the commercials...

Most excellent news! I've already got some fairly unique @xisumavoid.com merch, and this banner will add to that awesomeness! Thanks, X!

Still desperately chasing Jordan's 6-0 finals record...

I always have to bite my tongue when I see bands putting out the call for drummers to audition. It literally takes all of my willpower to prevent myself from commenting "Well, I can tell you who you SHOULDN'T let audition..."

How did I end up the parent of a terminally OFFline Zoomer?!?

Turns out that, after two separate staff members at a hospital independently confirm that a patient is indeed admitted, including room number, they'll still lie to your face and tell you "I was mistaken, that's not who I thought it was, there's nobody by that name admitted here." Protocol, yeah?

There aren't many of these out there. Usually, if I'm pictured on stage, it's in the background. This is one of the few times I actually crossed paths with a photographer while at the front of the stage. The Music Factory Battle Creek, MI 04/23/2026 Photo Credit: Justin "Skwynts" Louth

GG4, how I've missed you...

The Godmother of Star Trek and one of Hollywood's truly legendary women on so many levels... And one of my idols. I really do Love Lucy...

I'm hearing there was a noticeable lack of security at the WHCD last night. If that's the case, then the Secret Service would have thrown a fucking shit fit and objected vehemently to such lax measures. You find a Secret Service whistleblower...
